448	59	IV. The judgment should not include joint and several liability under a conspiracy theory because conspiracy is pre-empted under TUTSA or subject to proportionate responsibility under Chapter 33	TUTSA displaces conflicting tort remedies (§ 134A.007) and conspiracy is preempted per VEST Safety. Alternatively, Chapter 33 applies to any tort-based cause of action (§ 33.002(a)), civil conspiracy is an intentional tort (Firestone Steel), and conspiracy is not listed among Chapter 33 exemptions. Courts have concluded Chapter 33's proportionate responsibility applies to conspiracy rather than joint and several liability (Seven Seas, Pemex).
